Hi; The added lines did the trick, had to comment out the first added line as the patch is not zipped it is just a regular file. Am having another problem with this. Get the following error: "/bin/sh: cd: $: No such file or directory make: *** [/mnt/lfs/usr/installinfo/glibc-2.1.3] Error 1" Figured it had something to do with the TIMEZONE as I had not changed it. Looked at ManDrakes /etc/localtime and /usr/share/zoneinfo and they both end up with binaries and didn't know if this is what is needed. So entered TIMEZOME = America/Phoenix/MST but this had the same effect. Any help would be appricated.
